I had to search around a bit before I could get my old HP ScanJet 3c SCSI scanner going but it's sorted now. I just had to add the following udev rule, which I put in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="HP*", SYSFS{model}="C2520A*", SYMLINK="scanner%n" This creates a link /dev/scanner0 to the SCSI generic device assigned to the scanner, and changes ownership of the device to whoever's logged in on the console.
